George Zimmerman is many things. Noted gun enthusiast, racist Floridian, killer of defenseless 17-year-old black teenager Trayvon Martin, and now... visual artist! Yes, it appears that George put a painting of his on eBay. Although, why he has taken to making bad art, we are not so sure. On the eBay listing itself, George states:

First hand painted artwork by me, George Zimmerman. Everyone has been asking what I have been doing with myself. I found a creative, way to express myself, my emotions and the symbols that represent my experiences. My art work allows me to reflect, providing a therapeutic outlet and allows me to remain indoors :-) I hope you enjoy owning this piece as much as I enjoyed creating it. Your friend, George Zimmerman

The authenticity of the painting has been confirmed by George's brother to a (you guessed it) Fox news station. The sad part is George is already making a killing off of the cheap painting. The bidding is at time of going to press just short of $100,000 - the proceeds of which will most likely go towards George's legal fees or Arby's or whatever it is that egomaniacal gun-happy racist girlfriend-beating murderers do these days.

But we have to ask — is it art? To answer that question, we enlisted Los Angeles-based art blogger and art critic Alexis Hyde to tell us what she thought of the painting:

The use of blue suggests a water metaphor and the fluidity of our constitution. While it seems from what we know of the artist that he doesn't feel that the constitution should be fluid, it seems that his perception of it is. His bleeding stars and brash brush strokes that he is passionate about his message. His choice of an all blue tone I interesting as it suggests on seeing a flag at night or under darkness, as if he was trying to expose a secret or something that was under the dark.

The inconsistent but abrupt and quick brush strokes suggest someone who was in a hurry as there seems to be an aesthetic reason behind them. Also, the inconsistency behind the "stenciled" letters, especially, the 'O', shows a hurried hand not necessarily involved with the visual as the message. The idea of making a message about the Constitution, with the proven soothing colors of blue and the image of the flag, while heavy-handed, are effective. While being borderline propaganda, the piece isn't entirely without merit.

While it's highly unlikely that Zimmerman will ever be the darling the art world, $100,000 is a lot of money for a painting no matter how you slice it. In fact, despite the fact that Zimmerman is almost universally despised for his racist and murdering ways, George's painting is effectively worth roughly as much a Renoir. So he's got that going for him. Which is nice.
